🚀 Starship survived, Falcon 9’s a legend
SpaceX hit a clean double: Falcon 9 nailed its 400th droneship landing after launching 28 Starlinks, and Starship Flight 10 flew for an hour, deployed 8 dummy sats, then splashed down. Reentry singed hardware, but control held — classic “boom first, win later.” For NASA, that’s a green light toward Artemis III. Cadence is climbing — next shot in ~8 weeks. Mars 2026 doesn’t sound crazy anymore. ✨

👅 Graphene tongue of the future
Chinese scientists built an artificial tongue that can actually remember taste. The trick is a graphene oxide membrane with nanochannels: ions get trapped and move slower, creating a memory effect. The device “remembers” flavor for up to 140 seconds — just like human taste buds.
Tests: sour, sweet, salty, bitter — recognized with 98.5% accuracy. It even distinguished coffee vs. cola and their mixes. The membrane behaves like a synapse, strengthening or weakening response and storing signal sequences.
📌 Bottom line: in ten years we might see digital tasters — from smart coffee machines to robot sommeliers.

📊 Crypto Market on Pause
Bitcoin and Ethereum remain flat, while top-100 altcoins show mixed performance.
📈 Gainers in the past 24h: M +32%, FORM +11%, OKB +8%. 📉 Losers: WFLI -7%, POL -5%, ONDO -3%.
Fear & Greed Index sits at neutral — 51. BTC dominance hovers around 58%.
Notably, Bitcoin ETFs saw a $332M inflow yesterday, while Ethereum funds recorded a $135M outflow.

🧠 The Brain’s Decision Map
Every time you ask yourself “should I buy Bitcoin now?” — your brain goes full committee mode. Scientists gave mice tiny steering wheels and mapped decision-making: 620k neurons, 279 regions. Turns out, almost the whole brain fires up, even the so-called “motor” zones.
Now we’ve got a live map showing how the brain decides in seconds — to hodl, short, or ape into altcoins.

🚕 Drivers Digging Their Own Graves
Uber in India went full galaxy brain: drivers now train the AIs that’ll replace them. No rides? Click pics, sort receipts, mark texts. Side hustle, $200/hr on paper. Already 1.4M signed up.
Reality check: peanuts. Irony? They’re hyped to teach the bots that’ll steal their jobs.
2025: driver = accidental data scientist. “Dad, what was your job?” “Taught robots, son. Then they fired me.”
Peak capitalism: dig the grave, cash the check, smile.

🧠 Telepathy on a Clip
Startup AlterEgo dropped a gadget for “mind reading.” In reality, it’s a clunky clip on your temple with a wire that reads tiny tongue movements when you talk to yourself.
Basically, inner voice = commands for your phone. Text, code, control devices — no hands needed. Plus: no drilling holes in your skull like Neuralink. Minus: you look like a cyber-farmer with an extension cord on your face.
Not full telepathy, but a step into cyberpunk. If they polish it — you’ll be trading shitcoins with your brain.
Price reveal? September 17. Stack those bags.

🍯 TSMC is now making… honey!
Forget chips — TSMC just launched honey. Yep, the semiconductor titan rebuilt nature around its fabs, bees came back, and now every factory produces its own flavor of honey depending on local plants. Partnering with beekeepers and Tunghai University, they branded it “Ji Mi.” No word if it goes global or stays a Taiwan flex, but let’s be real: this might be the priciest “Silicon Valley honey” ever.

💩 Rolling Stone vs Google: the first big AI content war
Penske Media (owners of Rolling Stone, Billboard, Variety, etc.) just sued Google, accusing them of stealing articles for those shiny AI Overviews.
For decades the deal was simple: publishers provide content → Google indexes → users click → publishers earn. Now? Google summarizes everything right on the search page. No clicks, no ads, no subs — no survival.
Penske calls it “a threat to journalism itself.” They say Google uses monopoly power: either let AI use your content or get kicked out of search (aka digital death).
This case could set the rules for the future: revenue sharing with publishers… or old-school journalism fading away.

🎬 Stranger Things is coming to an end
The trailer for the final season just dropped. The story will be split into three parts, with the first one landing on November 27.
This time the gang will wrap up the Vecna arc and jump straight into 1987. Expect drama, darkness, and full-on retro vibes. The endgame is finally here 😳

⚡️ Holograms Without Glasses? Yep.
Looking Glass Factory dropped Hololuminescent displays — screens where people and objects float in the air with zero glasses or headsets. Take any regular video, toss it into a Premiere template — boom, hologram.
Sizes & prices: • 16″ for $2000 (1080p) • 27″ for $4000 (4K) • 86″ for $20K (4K, ships Feb 2026)
Museums get flying artifacts, shops show off products in 3D air, ads literally pop out at you.
Easy content, insane effect — feels like the future finally pulled up. 🚀

🫥 Matter That “Shouldn’t” Exist
Scientists at TUM, Princeton, and Google Quantum AI just used a 58-qubit quantum computer to create a state of matter that straight-up cannot exist under normal physics.
The trick? Keep the system constantly “shaken.” At the edges, particles move in only one direction (quantum autobahn 🚦), while inside, two particle types swap every two cycles — literal quantum werewolves.
This isn’t a sim — classical computers can’t crunch it. Quantum processors are turning into labs for discovering whole new phases of matter.
Feels like we just peeked at the universe’s source code.

🪙 Bitcoin Conference 2013, when it was $100
Daaamn… send me back to 2013! I’d buy just one pizza — and hodl the rest, ffs 🤯🚀

🚀 Data centers are going to space!
AI eats power like crazy. By 2030, data centers could push energy use up +165%. In the US alone, by 2028 they’ll gulp down 12% of all electricity — half still from fossil fuels.
The fix? Space. Up there it’s 24/7 sunlight, no clouds, no atmosphere. Launch costs dropped to $1500/kg, solar panels got lighter. Startups are already testing — one mini data center sent to the Moon (crashed, F in chat), another heading to orbit. Even Bezos and Schmidt are betting on it.
Downsides: radiation, zero upgrades, latency, huge costs. But one big win — no regulators, no neighbors whining about power bills. If costs drop, we’re looking at a revolution in how humanity stores and processes data.
